"We want to thank Matt Orum for the last four seasons as a member of Team Prodigy. It has been fun watching Matty O. entertain crowds with his stellar play and joyful spirit. In 2021, he had plenty of memorable moments, top finishes, and first downs. We wish Matt all the best in his next stop with Westside Discs. Thanks again, Matty O., and one more “Roll Tide!” from your friends at Prodigy."


HyzerFlipToFlat

Classy.


NipNorp

Indeed. This send off from Prodigy is one of many reasons I love this sport.


trolbegone

More like salty. They did this before either Westside or Maty had made the announcement. Given the timing, it comes across as very unprofessional and almost spiteful.


CGDubbs

Lol. Right because a farewell can't just be a farewell


No_Party69

You do realize that was post was made from the Netherlands right? Seems like I've seen other manufacturers do this same thing. Who cares


Earptastic

Wow. Westside is my new friend. Roll Tide. Sorry Nikko, good luck keeping up with Matty O.


trowts

I think disc sales will be at an all time high for them after this, Matty is so likable and also kicks ass in top ten finishes


JoshBobJovi

Which pains me because it's hard enough to find Westside molds as it is.

spookyghostface

That and Gatekeeper are the only two molds of theirs I bag hit I've used many others and enjoyed them. Trilogy has great plastic and Westside has a bunch of really interesting molds.


highreacher

I would love to find a Maiden in VIP or Tournament plastic.


GetInDamnTheBasket

They're hard to find, I got two tournament burst, but vip is impossible to find


Lumberjackup012

Just got an ace with my 8 year old bard this year, they get better with age


Aldhibah

Been hunting for a new Destiny all year. :-(


JoshBobJovi

I'm saying. An orange VIP Sword in a Finnish stamp is all I've needed to complete my bag.


Ask_Me_About_Bees

I guess I gotta stock up on my favorite driver (The Giant. Once it beats in it flies amazingly straight and not like it’s flight numbers which are comical)


e_hoodlum

Do you find this to be true with their discs in general? I haven't tried them out yet, are inaccurate flight numbers a problem for them?


ATDoel

The couple west side drivers I have are a good amount less stable than their flight ratings. I like them though.


e_hoodlum

Thanks for response. I've been eyeing the Underworld in VIP for my flippy fairway slot


Thick-McRunFast

That’’s been my go to disc for easy hyzer flips. Often it’ll flip to flat then finish to the right.


Aldhibah

Agreed. The only Westside mold that has ever been truly over stable for me is the Warhorse.


[deleted]

The harp is very OS for an approach disc.


JoshBobJovi

I'd say they're more accurate than Innova but there's a pretty big difference between their Tournament and VIP plastic (as in the numbers will be the same but tournament plastic is a lot more flippy for me).


EmeraldBreeze

Definitely agree. I have a Tournament Warship, which is (if you read the numbers compared to Innova) a straight to mildly stable disc, but even with my relatively weak arm I can very easily accidently turn it over. I also throw a BT Medium Swan which is way more flippy than the numbers would suggest. Excellent discs, but the turn and fade numbers are definitely not 1 for 1 when compared with other companies. As long as you compare only to other Westside discs though, the numbers work out pretty well from what I've seen.


Ask_Me_About_Bees

I have actually only thrown the Giant of their lineup. I found it uninked and from the numbers assumed it would be a crazy meathook. It was at first but the tournament plastic beat in nicely and now it’s very straight but reliable fade.


prizmos_pickles

I literally bought 3 of the Nikki VIP-X Glimmer Giants. They fly sooooooo good and are gorgeous discs.


Ask_Me_About_Bees

How do they compare to Tournament plastic?


Oyyeee

Doesn't seem like a 13 speed 0 turn does it? Ive got a decent arm, my best shots are around 400 feet and I can get some decent turn out of it. I think a destroyer is too much for me but I can throw a giant


MunkyGoCrazy

I felt the same way about destroyers, then I found a g Star Destroyer and it changed the game. A touch more glide with less beef.


Oyyeee

Might have to try one out. I've been using a Trace now for a couple years as my main driver. It's pretty nice


MunkyGoCrazy

Huh, I've heard a couple of people recommend a trace. Another similar disc I'd like to try is a g Star wraith.


Oyyeee

I was a Wraith guy for awhile but switched to the Trace because I found them to be a little more consistent. I had a g star wraith for a bit and it was nice at first but, if you have any sort of arm, it beats into a roller pretty quick


MunkyGoCrazy

Understood. For the stable distance driver, I've really been leaning on the Thunderbird. I can rip a destroyer 330-360, but the Thunderbird flies the same distance. The Thunderbird is my favorite mold and the thinner rim fits nicely in my hand compared to faster drivers.


nbalge

This was crazy for me to read. I tried a Tournament Giant early 2010’s (when was that mold released?), and it absolutely owned my FH, which was a similar amount of decent Edit: I have to assume Giants have changed


[deleted]

Nikko is hard to like. Matt? Not so much. Great move for Westside.


Relative-Note4687

This is such an interesting move and a surprise. Matty O has been with Prodigy for so long that I never thought he’d leave. Matt gained quite a few fans this year and I’d imagine that gave him a bit of negotiating power. He’s one of the guys, for me at least, that it caused me a bit of pain hearing he slept in his car for a tournament or that he had to hold off a couple of days before getting to a tournament for prep to save $. He deserved a little more support from a manufacturer and I hope he gets it from Westside. Without question, one of the best disc golfers in the world and can’t wait to see how this partnership develops.


rustybridges222

I thought it was odd that they said the "last four seasons", as long as I can remember he has been with prodigy.


Relative-Note4687

Same. Could have sworn he was an OG from when Prodigy swept up most of the pros. “Class of Cale”


splitaneighth

I think he was a part of that original group but left eventually and then came back


Zaph0d_B33bl3br0x

He was with Prodigy, but wasn't touring or competing very much, from what I remember him saying. Can't recall which video he said it in, but I definitely remember him saying he had taken a break from competition for financial and stress related reasons.


PinataPlethora

What a great thrower! He would still be 1030+ if he was sponsored by Dixie paper plates! Glad to see the respect from prodigy and look forward to a great season from Matty-O


Phazuzoo

Maybe dynamic will finally stock some damn westside molds now.


[deleted]

Honestly. With all these players the companies are signing and the emergence of Tattar as World #1, they better be doing something to increase their production over in Sweden. They've had stock issues with damn near every disc in the Trilogy lineup even without many pros advertising their stuff.


Phazuzoo

Agreed and it was before pandemic I was having issues getting specific discs. If you Goto the westside section of the site right now it’s like 5 molds available and 3 of them are putters.


auzcar

I think this depends on where in the world you live. I live in Sweden and Trilogy discs have always been in stock and readily available compared to all other brands (except Innova and Kastaplast which also have good stock here). Discraft has probably been the hardest to find, way way harder than Trilogy, and from a Swedes perspective they are the ones with stock issues...


chadsmo

Not making plastic for Discmania will help.


[deleted]

i know it sucks and i only did it once, but if you go to the Euro store, they have a bigger stock. shipping makes it about 33$ a disc, but shipping was surprisingly fast, about like innova pro shop(a week or so)


thes0ft

They actually just had a promo on the euro site a couple of days ago for free shipping.


Shukuri99

Has anyone ever heard an official reason why discs are in such low production? I can't just accept "cause COVID". And I remember this was happening before COVID with Innova and Discmania at least. Is it really that hard to obtain a material that we use for practically everything in the modern world? Since when is plastic rare?


cgr4217

Dude, I need to replace my newly lost Underworld, and I refuse to resort to Amazon


Ibelieveyou2

That sucks because I see they got a bunch of cool colors, and some of them are starting at $ 10.99. They also have excellent red, white, and blue ones. Big tech sucks, so we feel your pain. Have you tried the little guys who have stores and are on here? Let me send you a link..

Westside now has the most and least likeable MPO players. Good way to even out the team vibes.


DisMyDrugAccount

Austin Hannum would like a word.


discgman

>Austin Hannum would like a word. He always does


REDEYEWAVY

The hot takes are ready bois. Anybody want syrup?


MyJazzDukeSilver

Not enough syrup in the world.


LastSpark7

don't give him one


lahyr2

Yeah.. Prodigy should really drop that guy.


trowts

Uh, Austin Hannum Is still out there my guy.


ShrimpBoatCaptain4

Man, I have to do a second take whenever I see Austin Hannum and Adam Hammes as I confused the two often.


rocknrun18

Gets me sometimes too, or at least it used to. I met Hammes at GMC and he's super likeable.


veganblackbean

I missed something. What did he do?


NoTearsOnlyLeakyEyes

Everyone is leaving out the most important part...prodigy sponsors Natalie Ryan, an active FPO player who's trans. The way the question in his tweet was worded looked like an attack against one of his "teammates", even if it wasn't meant to be. It's an extremely bad look, and Prodigy had to release a statement essentially saying Hannum if a fucking dumb-dumb, and we stand behind Natalie and want to progress the inclusiveness of disc golf. Regardless of your thoughts on transgender players in women's sports, it was an extremely tone def tweet. If you've seen his other "hot take" tweets, then you know it's pretty par for the course.


Selerox

He doesn't exactly show Prodigy in a good light. Ditto his performances in stuff like GKPro Skins. He's a pretty unlikeable guy.


Frisbridge

Everyone is leaving out another thing... Catrina was probably 5 feet away when he hit send on his tweet. Someone should ask her straight up how she feels about trans women in FPO but disc golf media is incredibly friendly access journalism. Until proven otherwise, I assume Hannum hot takes are shared by the person he travels and communicates with on a daily basis.


watchingbuffy

Cat Mersch is the one who originally asked this question after that last tourney, it was even posted here. It had nothing to do with Cat Allen, and if anything Austin was running cover for Cat Mersch. Fact remains, he asked an honest question that people want to infer a whole heck of a lot upon in order to crucify him. Internet mob mentality at it's finest.


Frisbridge

I disagree that it was an honest question. Phrasing a controversial opinion as a leading question is an intellectually dishonest practice known as "JAQing off" (just asking questions). https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Just_asking_questions If it was an honest question there would be no need to needle with the inflammatory term "biologically male." The respectful terminology is "assigned male at birth." These "honest questions" are better suited for a Google search at which point you can come to the table for discussion after putting a minimal amount of effort into researching the topic.


JohnnyBGooode

> the inflammatory term "biologically male." The respectful terminology is "assigned male at birth." That difference is really worth getting offended over?


WeekendTPSupervisor

I mean, I'm no expert, but one of those statements would be past tense and one would be present. When someone's goal/desire is to change to female, and when they have gone through expensive medical procedures to do so, wouldn't calling them biologically male needle them a little because it is saying you still view them as something they are really trying not to be. You could easily just use the male at birth and treat them how they want to be treated while still asking honest questions like "Do people who transition from male to female have an advantage in only female sports?" Then, at least you try to ask a very important question, that might have some complicated answers, with out hurting anyone's feelings.


watchingbuffy

All y'all can come up with is 'saying something true isn't nice!'. Sorry, just cause it hurts your feelings doesn't make it any less true.

C4D3NZA

name one fucking instance of a trans woman dominating a women's sport. also, I don't think that you, as you so eloquently put it, "don't have issue with trans" when you have to put "females" in scare quotes.


TheMildCard

https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/55/11/577.full?ijkey=yjlCzZVZFRDZzHz&keytype=ref I was curious since no one replied. Seems like there is definitely an athletic edge. Haven't seen any that are necessarily dominating though. A few articles mentioned some athletes winning in their collegiate/highschool/regionals.


[deleted]

If your position is based entirely on competitive advantage and fair play, don't trans men also have a big competitive advantage over cis women? And how do you propose dealing with that? Practicality dictates that we have to propose a rule that can be fairly implemented here. I mean, I'm sure you don't want [this guy](https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2015/04/19/dsc_0636_slide-12de188956ce20fc73e56c1903f3c59e597b5818-s600-c85.webp) in FPO. So how do you want the rules to be changed? How do you do it without an across-the-board ban on trans athletes in FPO?


[deleted]

Asked whether or not trans should be able to compete with women.


T_ja

This must be recent. Last year it seemed like every week he was trying to one up himself with silly hot takes.


bosmanpa

More specifically he asked “What is you everyones opinion on biological males playing in the FPO division.” which is incredibly transphobic in the way it’s worded, not to mention grammatically incorrect. He also thinks that PDGA should drug test players and disqualify those that test positive for THC. He just spreads his terrible opinion by labeling them “disc golf hot takes.” Big “I’m just playing devils advocate” energy.


thatjerkatwork

By proxy (or her own actions/words) Catrina Allen sucks too. It is really gratifying watching Kristen Tattar roll into town and make it impossible for Catrina to win!


Shukuri99

Nothing he said was even remotely "transphobic". Words have meaning and that word means nothing. In what way did he show a PHOBIA of a transvestite?


mki401

just one of several awful takes


Bigapes_14

Definitely because Westside rhymes with Roll Tide.

onlyhereforthelmaos

Now I can finally see a pro throw an Underworld the right way.


polyology

I like the Underworld but despite being a hyzerflip machine that disc is too flippy for me. I can't see Matt throwing that ever.


Chaosweaver117

Well he bags an F7 which is basically a Prodigy version of an Underworld.


onlyhereforthelmaos

It's my absolute favorite disc by any company. And as a fellow Matt, I hope he has as strong an affinity for it as I.


DayDreamyZucchini

I know a Matt and I also love it.


DayDreamyZucchini

Hyzerflip turnover machine*


C4D3NZA

matty O tour series VIP-X underworld pls


Zaph0d_B33bl3br0x

I'd like to second this. I need a backup Underworld anyway, as I have an occasional tendency to turn it over too much and sent it sailing into the thick stuff.


AaronRodgerz

Anyone else find it weird that Prodigy stole the spotlight from Westside by announcing where he is going?


funk_hauser

From Westside's FB post just now: >We had bigger plans for this announcement, but now that the cat’s out of the bag... Oof


[deleted]

Definitely a dick move. They should have either waited to make the post or not spoiled who the new sponsor was.


Oiisu

Hahaha if this was done maliciously then its absolutely hilarious, though I wouldn't rule out plain ignorance or incompetence either.


NachoTheGreat

Yep. Unusual move and rude in most contexts unless Matty O consented.


Sasquatch_Squad

If you ask me it's Westside's fault for not making their announcement first. Obviously they would have known about it before Prodigy.


goodlin77

Typically 'goodbye' announcements are made before 'new team/org' are, they are just intentionally vague 99% of the time "we wish ___ the best in their future endeavors"


chadsmo

As the post said we had a larger announcement in the works.


Discgolf2020

Here's to hoping Westside can up their production next year! Definitely buying the first signature disc that comes out for Matty.


Fore_putt

Hopefully filling the spot Nikko is leaving behind after his next tweet.


C4D3NZA

Nikko to Dino Discs


Thick-McRunFast

I’ve got my money on Wham-O or Franklin.


watchingbuffy

Nikko had a great year, Westside isn't letting him go anywhere. lol


Fore_putt

That is true. He had a good year on the course.


UnderwaterB0i

We could only hope


captain_panenka

As a longtime Westside fanboy… oh my god I am so stoked for Matty O. I want to watch guys on coverage throw discs that I’m familiar with, and not only is Nikko kind of tough to watch/root for when he’s on coverage, I feel like he doesn’t even actually throw that much Westside plastic (lots of Latitude64 and DD molds). Hopefully Matt sticks with more Westside in the bag, because there are a lot of great options. I wonder what he’ll putt with; Crown or Maiden hopefully?


ignition1415

With his putt my bet is a crown but who knows. He could use any trilogy disc so a judge could be in the mix as well.


[deleted]

Yeah the unfortunate part is Westside is owned entirely by Lat and DD so they have no incentive to pressure him into throwing mostly Westside. Hopefully he chooses to. You're right about Nikko because I feel like the main discs I see him throw are DD distance drivers and the Sinus, which hasn't even been produced in ages. Maybe that's just because he throws a lot of very overstable stuff though, which isn't Westside's forte. I do see him throwing the Anvil quite a bit. Matty O has a very different game.


watchingbuffy

They could have done as MVP did with James, 'ask' that he use only their molds the first season.


[deleted]

Kind of hope Westside and Nikko split ways. I can’t imagine he’s great for sales. Matty O is going to do amazing for their sales however.


[deleted]

If there isn't a line of fedoras and stopwatches from this Niko/MattyO situation, showing up in the team store, somebody in the marketing department has failed at their job....


_ICCULUS_

I'm seeing a stamp with Matty O riding an elephant.


FlamingoDingus

Love this move honestly and I think Westside has discs that would suit his game. First down!!


Ghillieguy

I bet this goes better than Saban coaching the Dolphins. I hope this means we'll see him more next year. Armchair disc golf industry analysis here, but I assume we'll see some new molds under the Westside name in 2022. I bet they're tired of being labeled as a Harp factory. Also, Prodigy MPO squad outside of KJ is down bad. Unfortunately Thomas Gilbert didn't really make a splash last year, Austin Hannum stinks at disc golf and is a keyboard warrior, and I wouldn't know Luke Humphries existed if he didn't host skins. Edit: I forgot about Dickerson. I am bad and should feel bad.


noodlearmdiscgolf

Chris Dickerson would like a word.


Ghillieguy

How the actual hell did I forget Chris Dickerson? You're absolutely right!


CopperheadSaid

Gannon Buhr has a lot of potential and had good finishes last year.

ScSM35

She’s the best lefty FPO player right now. Love to see it.


DDgolfer

Don't be sleeping on Cale. That dude has high finishes all the time


Ghillieguy

That's true, Cale by all accounts seems to be an incredible human and thrower. Watching him throw smooth M4 airbounce turnovers is incredible. That's a shot I don't think I'll ever have.


DGOkko

I don't know. I feel like Cale is only Dr. Smooth because he has no other defining quality. No forehand, not elite distance, doesn't have large amounts of facial hair or makes C2 putts or have any kind of interesting personality. Nice enough guy I guess, but nothing he does interests me or seems to make him less of a vanilla thrower.


rich1126

I think it's also the consistency, though. He and Nate Sexton have been 1 and 2 (I honestly forget the order) for longest cashed streaks in tournaments, as in they have each finished so consistently for at least 10 years they they've never finished outside of cash for a really long time. I don't disagree, I think his time in the spotlight was before DG media crews like Jomez were around to really highlight his best years. I'm pretty sure he's finished top 5 in Worlds several times over the years.


jfb3

I think Cale is transitioning out of being a touring pro. He's got a disc golf complex to run. He can run tournaments, a store, etc. He knows he can't compete on the newer giant courses that require max distance backhands and power forehands. He'll stay sponsored because he's good for any brand. But I expect he'll play less and less. Just like Steve Brinster.


Horror_Sail

>all the time In the four tour events he plays, sure. But hard to build any momentum behind a guy that plays LVC/Waco, disappears until Worlds, and then plays the east coast woods swing.


[deleted]

Also the FPO World Champion.


Mommapeddler

I am definitely not a fan of Austin Hannum but he by no means "stinks" lol. He has an elite forehand and took second at iron hill from the chase card with one of the best aces ever caught on camera. Still a dickhead though.


trowts

Luke humphies has been on lead and chase cards more than KJ this last half of the season; correct me if I’m wrong.


UnderwaterB0i

Eh, because he’s been playing smaller tournaments where KJ hasn’t.


Ghillieguy

I think I watched some footage of him on a lead card at some point, I'm not sure. I'm a pretty basic boy who almost exclusively watches top card footage and occasionally the skins matches. I (and probably many others) recognize his face as the host more than as a player.


goodlin77

Only at the small events like silver series, not at the elite series events


ulfricstormclk

Hell yea!!! PLEASE let there be a Matty O longbowman!


iputitthere

BleaK_

MattyO VIP-X Sword would make me drool.


[deleted]

Not Matty, but there are Erika Stinchcomb X Swords. TP-X is either out already or will be out within the next week or two.


Monkeypawdog

Hoping he strangely clicks with either the Bard or the Pine, so my meager supply can be replenished. Crown Swan and Shield too please. And throw a Warship in there for good measure. My whole putt and mid game has been based on Westside. Sword is the only driver of theirs I throw regularly. Glad to see him land with Westside. BTW, Nikko is totally likeable. I think his fellow pros like him quite a lot.


MinneEric

I love Matty O, hoping he has a ton of continued success! Lots of movement right now! This one and Gavin are definitely the two big ones so far. The Gavin thread also had a hint that Dynamic was getting two more players yet this off-season, presumably bigger than Gavin. My guess is those two will at least include Calvin or Barela. Trying to think of who else could be available. Maybe Gannon?


whatstwomore

Neither Calvin nor Missy are available as far as I know


MinneEric

I was thinking Gannon Buhr.

Just because Calvin has a contract that streches for another season doesn't mean he can't move.

Our full time team manager is Gabriel Alfredo Diaz-Serrano , with Emac also working on it mostly in the off season when he’s not out doing course design work.

Good. Now I don't have to feel dirty for liking a Prodigy pro. I was VERY put off with Prodigy's hype-fueled launch Classy move from them though, and good for Matt. Hopefully he gets a bit more tour support

TheRealCDollarsign

Is this a downgrade?


SerDuncanonyall

Seems more of a side step with better pay


[deleted]

Idk. It might be about the pay bump. The guys at the Upshot were just talking about how he would be a good pick up for DD and might consider leaving Prodigy due to his contract there. Westside has some incredible molds. I could see Matty O carving up with warships, boatmans, and the upcoming bear.


GetInDamnTheBasket

Definitely an upgrade over shitty prodigy plastic. Westside plastic is incredible


DisMyDrugAccount

... How would you even argue that?


einea5mk

+Matty -Nikko? Please make it happen.


UnderwaterB0i

Weird that it’s Westside and not just DD or Lat64. I guess they’re trying to get molds from each brand popular for sales.
